The 1800’s gold rush is responsible for laying the foundation to much of the cities, infrastructure, and shipping hubs of the Western United States. Gold prospecting drove Western Expansion and the wealth that it generated trickled down through many aspects of life and supported the creation of many industries. Few people were successful in the hunt for gold, yet many found prosperity in adjacent industries such as forestry to support the booming development. This week’s featured build pays tribute to a part of American history with a unique mining themed resort home in Washington state.

The designers of this project appropriately chose Montana Timber Products as their supplier of rustic wood siding and timbers. Montana Timber Products carries multiple product lines of reclaimed barn wood and reclaimed barn wood alternatives to provide you with the appropriate degree of rustic appeal and material choice.

As exhibited by the photos, there is a very heavy focus on structural Douglas Fir timbers throughout this project to emulate the roll that structural timbers played in the creation of mine shaft infrastructure, rail cars, and all other modes of transport involved in mining. The siding throughout the project features a mix of Montana Timber Products ranchwood™ and AquaFir™ product lines. The dark brown (Eastern) vertical 1×8 and 1×10 Shiplap siding featured in the first photo above is part of the ranchwood™ product line; Montana Timber Products’ flagship product.

The photo above illustrates the dedication the homeowners and designers had to creating an authentic mining tribute home by creating a mock mine entrance way emerging from the basement of the home. The Wire Brushed, horizontal, Custom Gray, Channel Rustic siding and the vertical, Custom Beige, Shiplap siding are part of the AquaFir™ product line; a slightly more mono-chromatic offering relative to the ranchwood™ product line.

Whether you are looking for siding, beams, flooring, or interior accents, Montana Timber Products offers a solution for your rustic needs. All Montana Timber Products’ prefinished wood siding utilizes Seal-Once, a 100% NO VOC waterproofer with a 10 year limited warranty against water ingress.

What: Residential Home

Where: Eagle, ID

Solution: Japanese style charred wood called Shou-Sugi-Ban

Product: Charwood™ – Ebony

This week’s featured build displays many creative and unique interior uses of Charwood™ Ebony throughout the entire home. Montana Timber Products’ Charwood™ is a Japanese style charred wood known as Shou-Sugi-Ban. This method of burning, scorching, or charring the surface of wood building materials dates back hundreds of years. The process adds beauty and longevity, as well as resistance from rot, pests, and fire. The product is prefinished with PolySeal, a blend of Seal-Once and Poly.

The homeowners and designers created a very welcoming entryway by utilizing Charwood™ ceiling paneling as well as a traditional sliding door. The ceiling paneling features a Tongue and Groove profile allowing the fasteners to be concealed for a clean finish. The white walls, a theme throughout most of the home, creates a strong contrast with the Charwood™, resulting in a beautiful clash between modern and traditional design.

The mixed dimension, mixed Circle Sawn and Wire Brushed texture, Charwood™ Ebony backdrop (above) creates an absolute depth not commonly seen. To compliment it, the same material was used for the cabinetry and trim throughout the bathroom.

In addition to the aesthetic beauty of Charwood™, the physical attributes make it an incredible product. When wood is charred, a chemical change called pyrolysis occurs. Pyrolysis is the irreversible depletion of organic material in wood. This means that the wood has lost much of its ability to ignite and burn, giving it a very high level of chemical free, natural fire retardant.

Whether you are looking for siding, beams, flooring, or interior accents, Montana Timber Products offers a solution for your rustic needs. All Montana Timber Products’ prefinished wood siding utilizes Seal-Once, a 100% NO VOC waterproofer with a 10 year limited warranty against water ingress.

Architects, builders, and homeowners continue to creatively disrupt traditional architectural design by utilizing various materials that were once less accessible.

This week’s featured project takes us to Park City, Utah and displays a unique combination of rustic and traditional building materials, including Montana Timber Products’ ranchwood™, Charwood™, and traditional reclaimed barn wood.

The photo below gives a great snapshot of the various materials used for this build. The off-gray vertical Shiplap in the top left portion of the photo is part of the AquaFir™ product line. When compared to the brown 2″ ranchwood™ trim below the copper gutter and the ranchwood™ vertical Shiplap (bottom right), you can see that the ranchwood™ has greater color variation between the soft and hard grain of the wood, giving it a slightly more rustic look compared to the AquaFir™. The lower left hand portion of the photo is the Charwood™ Tiger, horizontal Shiplap siding, easily distinguishable by the tiger striped wood grain created by the Shou-sugi-ban burning process.

The inception of Shou-Sugi-Ban, the centuries old traditional Japanese method of charring wood, was the result of the need for low maintenance, rot, pest, and fire resistant wood siding and fencing. Montana Timber Products’ Charwood™ product line, provides three variations of natural, NO VOC, Shou-Sugi-Ban wood. These three variations include Tiger (above), Ebony, and Gator. The different levels of burn result in various wood grain patterns.

The above photo displays the use of traditional reclaimed barn wood for the structural beams and wood slat awning. Montana Timber Products offers Corral Board, a true reclaimed barn wood.
